Can you buy a home if you have an investment property that is being used as a rental? Will they require you to qualify to pay both mortgage payments without consideration of the rental income?

Absolutely,You can buy 'n' number of homes (I mean unlimited) if you are willing to pay taxes on it.Uncle Sam only wants his pie and you can really own anything in USA.

yes,They will ask you to prove that you qualify for both the mortgage payments.(you are well capable to handle both payments) and you can include rental income as income to prove your financial.

feel free to ask any other question.

What did you mean by your 2nd response? If I can use the rental income as proof of my financial, then why do I have to qualify for both payments? Sorry, I'm confused.

Hi ccruz,

You can buy a home though you've an investment property. Before giving you the mortgage to buy a second property, the lender will check your financial situation. If your financial situation is not sound enough, then you won't qualify for a second mortgage to buy a new home.

Thanks

I just wanted to convey that you need to prove to your bank that you are capable to handle both the payments.Then & then only you could be able to keep both the properties.

Apart from this,income from rent can be shown in your financial as 'verifiable income'.and can be considered as income source.
